"She really is a fairy princess..." I whispered to myself in awe, watching the ethereal, translucent wings from Kaoru's back, scattering glittering dust into the smoky air as she landed on the ground.
Miss Ramses snarled, snapping my attention back to the danger. I immediately leaped away from her. She looked back at me, pure fury in her eyes. For a quick second, she punched the ground. The shockwave traveled through the soil, rippling the earth like water. I was thrown off my feet, tumbling into the undergrowth as the burning forest began to collapse around us.
Kaoru and Stephen immediately checked on me and helped me up. "Thanks," I said and nodded at them, a clear signal, a shared idea for us to go separate ways to attack Miss Ramses. Kaoru toward the right, Stephen on the left, and I went straight face on.
